He had spent more time on duty at the Western Front than most of his fellow Americans; he had <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2017\/05\/24\/u-s-army-base-hospital-4-receives-royal-greeting-in-england\/\">arrived with the very first of the American Expeditionary Force<\/a>, Base Hospital #4, in May 1917, and served as a medical officer first with Britain\u2019s Sherwood Foresters regiment, and later with the American forces. He was still on duty the morning of the cease-fire, near St. Mihiel, and <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2018\/11\/09\/one-medical-officers-armistice-day\/\">was nearly killed just a few minutes before it took effect<\/a>. In the first weeks after the Armistice, he had hoped to be among the first Americans to demobilize. But packing up troops and equipment and shipping them home after a major war can take many months. And the armistice agreement of November 1918 provided for Allied occupation of territory all along the Rhine River, to dispose of leftover military mat\u00e9riel, guard against future attacks from the defeated Germans, and to ensure that reparations payments were made. Thus, about 250,000 American troops (the Third Army) traveled to the U.S. occupation zone, which included the cities of Mainz and Koblenz (then Coblenz). The Chief Surgeon of the Third Army assigned Bayne-Jones and Major Alan Mason Chesney to head the Sanitation Division as Army Sanitary Inspector and Army Epidemiologist, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Army sanitary inspectors carried out the important (if unglamorous) preventive health maintenance work of the military. Together with Army engineers and local experts, they checked water supplies for contamination and saw that disinfection measures were followed. They ensured that barracks, billets, and hospitals had sufficient space, heat, and ventilation, that waste disposal was done properly, that food storage and preparation was hygienic. They also kept track of epidemic disease levels among the troops. Many years later, Bayne-Jones summarized these duties in his survey of preventive medicine in the U.S. Army:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The important sanitary matters that required some degree of centralized operation by the Army [during the occupation] were attempts to reduce venereal diseases by control of houses of prostitution, the supply and control of drinking water, and the enforcement of safeguards against the consumption of vegetables contaminated by the German practice of fertilizing fields with emulsions of human feces sprayed from “honey carts” that had been filled from cesspools.<\/p>\n<p>The office of the sanitary inspector and epidemiologist maintained from inspections and reports a ledger of cases of communicable diseases and a huge spot-map of the Army area affixed to the walls of a room in the spacious German building in which the Chief Surgeon’s office was located. Here data on the incidence of diseases were compiled and analyzed and a Weekly Health Bulletin was composed for issuance by the Office of the Chief Surgeon. There were brief outbreaks of influenza and typhoid fever among the troops in 1919, and some diphtheria. However, communicable diseases were not excessive in the Army of Occupation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left:40px;\"><em>\u2014 <\/em>Stanhope Bayne-Jones, Evolution of Preventive Medicine in the United States Army, 1607\u20131939, Washington, DC: USGPO, 1968, pp. 166-167<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bayne-Jones\u2019 letters to his family during the winter and spring of 1919 reveal his increasing homesickness, and his boredom and impatience with his duties. Writing to his sister Marian in January, he tried to make the best of his situation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My job here as a sanitary inspector of the army is fairly interesting and entertaining.

He implored his aunt and uncle to use whatever influence possible on \u201cUncle Willie\u201d (recently retired Surgeon General William C. Gorgas) and Colonel William H.

The U.S. maintained some presence there until 1923. Other Allies continued to occupy the area through the 1920s. Bayne-Jones returned to Johns Hopkins and continued his academic career in bacteriology and public health at the University of Rochester and then at Yale University. During World War II he served in multiple roles, including\u00a0 director of the Commission on Epidemiological Survey, Board for the Investigation and Control of Influenza and other Epidemic Diseases in the Army, Office of the Surgeon General in 1941; active military duty in the Army’s Preventive Medicine Service, Office of the Surgeon General, starting in 1942; assistant chief and deputy chief of the Preventive Medical Service, administrator of the Army Epidemiological Board, and director of the U.S. Typhus Commission.
